This was the brazen moment a gang used a drone to deliver illicit goods to a prison near Greater Manchester. Illegal drugs, mobile phones and SIM cards were carried onto the grounds of HMP Risley, in Warrington, by a drone on more than 20 occasions in five months.
CCTV footage shows a drone with a package suspended underneath flying above the prison. It then hovers outside a cell window, before a prisoner takes possession of the package.
An investigation revealed that two inmates were collecting the items and selling them inside the prison. Now members of the gang responsible have been locked up after appearing at Liverpool Crown Court last Friday (June 30).
